He is done forever with spring plowing,And walking thru the fields on a sunny morning

To see that all is well.The whippoorwills, whose call he eagerly awaited,

Return, but he does not hear them now.The acres that he loved lie fallow...

Fields he will no longer tend.I have said that he is doneWith fields and plowing,

Yet on Life’s other side he has awakenedto tend again the farmlands of the Lord.

Ideally, everyone would recycle their plastic bags. The sad fact is only 3% of plastic shopping bags are recycled. People need incentives to reduce their consumption of disposable shopping bags. Some places, like Taiwan, China and San Francisco CA, have banned plastic shopping bags. Others, like Washington D.C. and Seattle WA, have placed a user fee on plastic bags.

family $7,238.*That’s a huge difference in these difficult economic times.

Choose NIACC first. Call 1-888-GO NIACCwww.niacc.edu/parents
